Example Code

from langchain_community.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain_pinecone import PineconeVectorStrore

def setup_pinecone_vector_store(pinecone_api_key, pinecone_index_name, embeddings: OpenAIEmbeddings)
    vector_store = PineconeVectorStore(pinrcone_api_key=pinecone_api_key, index_name=pinecone_index_name, embedding=embeddings)

    return vector_store

Description

Hello, I am trying to use langchain to create a vector_store object and when running the code above I get an SSL error (SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED). I am behind a firewall and I have a cert that can be used to get around this issue but it requires me to modify the langchain_pinecone\vectorstore.py script in order to work. I need to update the init to allow for an ssl cert path variable and then also include that variable when the init creates the Pinecone client on line 103 (client = PineconeClient(api_key=_pinecone_api_key, source_tag="langchain", ssl_ca_certs=ssl_cert_file)).

Is there a way to update this init for PineconeVectorStore to have an optional parameter to import a ca cert file?

@OracleKen, it's been quite some time, but did you eventually succeed to solve this issue?
